Short: MPEG audio player with GUI (68k/PPC) Author: Thomas Wenzel (www.toms-home.de) Uploader: toms aminet upload toms-home de see note below Type: mus/play Version: 2.25 Architecture: m68k-amigaos Note: Aminet admins only: Use address from [Uploader] field to contact me All others: Use the email address stated on my homepage www.toms-home.de Introduction ------------ You want an audio player that really makes use of your high spec Amiga? Here it is! AmigaAMP is a GUI based MPEG audio player using mpega.library on the 68k processor or the amp decoding engine in the PPC version. Additionally it can make use of sndfile.library to play AIFF, WAV and 8SVX files. Playback is done through the AHI audio system. If you've got problems not related to the user interface but with AHI, AsyncIO or mpega.library, PLEASE contact the corresponding author directly. I wouldn't be able to help you in this case. Important: AmigaAMP is optimized for visual appearance and accuracy, not for extremely low cpu load! What does that mean? Well...if there's a percussion hit, you see it on the analyzer immediately. Not half a second later, not half a second earlier. People who say "I don't care about this, I just want to see some movement in the display" should use another player :-) However, if anyone has a fast PowerPC and a fast graphics card which ain't got nothing to do but run the PPC version of Heretic-II, AmigaAMP is just right :) Requirements (not included in this archive!) -------------------------------------------- AmigaOS 3.0 or higher 68030-50MHz processor or better asyncio.library AHI audio system For most of the skins: - picture.datatype v43 - ilbm.datatype v44 - bmp.datatype v40 For the guigfx loading routines (optional) - guigfx.library v16 - render.library v30 For popup menus (optional) - popupmenu.library v9 For compressed (wsz) skins (optional) - xadmaster.library v12 For MP2/MP3 support on 68k systems (optional) - mpega.library (Aminet:util/libs/mpega_library.lha) For AIFF, WAV and 8SVX support (optional) - sndfile.library v1 History ------- v2.25 - Fixed call to xadmaster.library - Fixed potential bugs in loading of complete directories - Fixed mouse button message handling - Improved playlist keyboard navigation - Fixed UTF support in ID2v3 - Implemented basic ID2v4 support - Added 68000 version v2.24 - Fixed race condition during preloading/seeking. - Improved DrawTask stability for Iconify(). - Implemented NoOS4 keyword/tooltype to skip OS4-style UserPort sharing for MorphOS. v2.23 - Cleaned up window handling routines.
